Abstract

Peyronies disease of the penis is characterised by pain and deformity on erection with a palpable fibrous plaque. The penile deformity may prevent normal sexual intercourse requiring surgical intervention. A review of 16 patients treated over an 8 year period shows that 11 of 12 patients treated surgically had a satisfactory outcome. The Nesbit procedure is the treatment of choice for marked lateral penile angulation due to Peyronies disease.
